4-H Hooked on Fishing Event a Success!

The South St. Louis County 4-H program hosted “4-H Hooked on Fishing” on August 22nd. The program was funded through a Minnesota DNR Angler and Hunter Recruitment and Retention Grant in partnership with the University of Minnesota Extension.The event was a great success, with 4-H youth not only attending, but bringing along non 4-H youth to see what great programs we have! The weather had us worried, but the rain never came and fishing was nice and dry. Molly Broderius led the event and with her youth helpers, had workshops on knot tying, safety, bait, and fishing skills. There was even a class on fish filleting and everyone got a chance to try it. The fish used were from a generous donation of fish from the DNR.
